    it actually gets harder as time goes on, which is why people keep making successively larger amounts of computer farms to try and get them

    but the fact that there is a limited amount makes it by nature deflationary and because of the mining thing early adopters are naturally rich

    it's literally the worst system for a stable currency and it's being held up by libertarians and nerds

    So I've learned a whole lot about bitcoins.

    Not so much on Nerf.

    We all do, Squirrel.

    But now we need to know if we can use nerf darts as a form of currency.

    And what the exchange rate is for bottlecaps. Mark my words. Bottlecaps are the future.

    there is something incredibly cathartic to watch rich white people get owned by a free market for once

    Are you seriously that dumb? We just had a recession that owned rich investments (which have nothing to do with race). Last time I checked, poor people didn't do too much heavy investing. Also there are some poor people who are white. I don't know if you realized this.

    Yeah fandeath the upper class has pretty much solely profited from all the shittiness of the past couple years. Corporate profits are up because they can cut pay and benefits + increase hours without people leaving for other jobs because there are no other jobs. The banks got bailouts and went on to have record profits with no problem. Rich dudes are doing a-okay and everyone else got screwed.

    I think my point got a little lost. Yes, everyone suffered from the recession. The rich did suffer the least. But in terms of "rich white people" getting owned, nothing owned them harder than this recession did (bar the great depression). There is no way bitcoins lost rich people more money than the recession, as was Koshian's original argument.

    Same reason I always replied to teefs. Call people out on being a troll enough times, other people start to see the pattern, and they eventually get banned for being awful. Not that I would claim any responsibility in the banning of teefs. I just like to point out when someone is clearly trying to make SE++ a worse place for everyone.

    How about them indeed!

    All of the talking up the Longshot gets makes me really want one, but I can't remember seeing any in stores at least as far back as when I worked at Toys R Us over the holidays. And they are a hundred bucks on Amazon. :(

    This despite the official Nerf website still happily acting as if all iterations of it are still in production and should be available anywhere...

    Nah, the maverick is cheap and popular but it is really prone to jamming.

    You would be better off getting a nitefinder or a recon.

    I haven't had a good nerf fight in years

    my old roommate and I had several good diving-sideways-and-dropping-to-knees-and-cursing-an-unforgiving-god-type nerf fights with mavericks

    he has a very good video on his phone of me advancing steadily toward him, firing like the devil and wearing an expression of absolute grim death

    in that fight he had killed my daughter

    Yes, the Maverick is one of the best bread-and-butter nerf guns there is. Looks cool (even cooler with custom paint), easy to mod from what I hear (though I haven't tried it yet myself), shoots well for its size, easy to operate.

    And if you can actually get one of the old blue ones like in that pic then bonus, I like that color scheme better than the current yellow.

    look the unemployment numbers don't fucking lie here (for a fun time, look at the other metrics outside of the U3, especially U4 and U5)

    the rich are did well and are doing well, and everybody else has been fucked to death

    Look, I'm not going to derail the thread any further. All I know is that many people who made over $200K a year got totally screwed, especially those that invested most of their money in stocks and bonds. I understand your point, but the top 1% making out like bandits does not mean all rich people made out like bandits by any means. That's all I have to say.

    No. It's a new alternative currency that can't be traced and cannot be broken down into smaller increments. There is no equivalent to the cent in Bitcoins.

    And I think one Bitcoin is like 30 bucks right now.

    Also Bitcoins are made by crunching some algorithm or something. It just sounds idiotic.

    There was a report about this on npr. They went to a cop who had access to the site and tracked sellers and buyers. Basically they just said lol this is so easy to track, nerds are fucking retarded. Now we know everything about them and they digitally signed that they were purchasing and selling drugs
